The organisers of Origin Of Trails are very proactive in giving back to the community and in developing our facilities, which are the trails. Both are very important to us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to introduce the 2016 Specialized 6 Fattie platform at this year\u2019s event,\u201d continues Grobbelaar. \u201cWe\u2019ll either give away a Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Comp 6 Fattie for men or a Specialized Rhyme FSR Comp 6 Fattie for women, depending on who wins the lucky draw on the Saturday after Stage Two. Both these bicycles are about having fun on the trail.
